Forum delle Religioni a Milano
The Forum of Religions in Milan was set up in Milan in 2004 in order to offer the city the presence and the service of an interreligious body, in which religions are represented by the participation of the very religious organizations and communities, instead of individuals. The represented religions are Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. Its main goals are: boosting the dialogue, solidarity and peace culture; fostering the debate on common interest issues related to the interaction with civil society; promoting the freedom of cult, religion and faith protection and committing against any kind of religious discrimination.
Community of Sant’Egidio
Community of Sant'Egidio was settled in Rome in 1968, in the aftermath of of the Second Vatican Council. Today, it is a secular movement with more tha 60.000 members, committed to spread the Gospel and carry out charitable activities in Rome, Italy and throughout more than 70 countries in the five continents. It is a "public association representing the secular part of the Church". The different communities, scattered in the whole world, share the same spirituality and foundations that distinguish Sant'Egidio's path: prayer, spreading of the Gospel, solidarity towards the poor, ecumenism and dialogue.
